For Good Purnoses.

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
 well known to the ladies of that city from the great good she has done by means of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs. Pinkham of recent in- teresting case. GA young marr1ed lady came to me suffering with severe case of Prolapsus and Liberation. She commenced taking the Compound and in two months was fully restored. In proof of this she soon found herself in an interesting condition. Influenced by foolish friends she attempted to evade the responsibilities of maternity. After ten CT twelve days she came to me again and she was indeed in a most alarm ing state and suffered terribly. gave her a tablespoonful of the compound every hour for eight hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much relieved and evidently better. She continued taking the Con- pound, and in due season she became the mother of fine healthy boy. But for the timely use of the medicine she believes her life would have been lost"

How Indians Catch Eagles.

Among our Indians the most highly aSized article of adornment is eagle
 hers. They not only use them for
 ng head-dresses and ornamenting
 blankets, but use them as money
 purchase of fire-water, tobacco
 er necessaries of Indian life.
 khe Blackfeet the mode of s!.lching them is interesting. After holding an eagle dance the braves repair to the mountains, where each digs pit and covers it lightly with reeds and grass. 4 piece of tough buffalo meat done up in a wolf skin is laid on the pit. After the sun is risen the eagle swoops down, alighting on the wolf skin, which he begins to tear. The Indian, who is concealed in the pit, reaches out stealthily, seizes the bird by it's legs and drags it into the pit, where he crushes its breast with his knees. The return of a successful party is the occasion of great rejoicing, and the plumage of our bird of liberty graces the top-knot of greasy Indian buck, "To what base uses, etc. Christtan at WOrk.

A Queer Chicago Incident.

Talking about street-cars," said a gentleman the other day, reminds me of a queer experience had on a Milwaukee avenue car the other even- ing. The car being crowded, got up at Franklin street and gave my seat to lady. When we reached Chicago avenue. she arose and insisted that I sit down for awhile-'just until you are rested,' she saidabWell, I sat down, and presently, becoming inter- ested in conversation with a gentle man at my left, I forgot all about the lady. At North avenue she touched my foot with the toe of her dainty boot and smilingly remarked: Well. are you going to ride forever?' It is needless to say that I again relin- quished my seat, and did it with pleasure, too, for do yon know I think she is the only lady I ever saw in a street-car who seemed to have any idea of fair play. ."- Chicago Neoos.

Advantage. of . Crooked vision.

Representative Johnston, of North Caro- lima, is one of the plainest, easy-going members of thu House, and is among the richest of Southern Representatives He, however, is not bit proud and has dis tinguishing mark in that he is cross-eyed. He tells story on himself which shows there is some advantage in having a crooked vision. Before being elected to Congress he served several terms in the North Carolina Legislature, and was fre- quently called upon to preside as Speaker pro tenn. On one occasion there was warm contest in the House, and number of members were striving for recognition. After the contest a member came to me and was quite indig- nant. Says he: You were looking right straight at me, and you recognized the other felIow.' 'Yes,' replied MT. John ston, I know I was looking straight at you, but my sight was on the other man." This satisfied the complaining man, but the fact was that he did see him, but he did not want to recognize the gen tleman, and his angular vision stood him in good stead

TURPENTINE FARMING.
Interesting Information Concerning Thi
 Important Southern Industry.

Interesting Information Concerning This Important Southern Industry.
 Finding myself in the pine-region of Southeast Georgia, and thinking that some information on the subject above named may not prove uninteresting to your readers, I will endeavor to tell to them that which has been imparted to me by those thoroughly conversant with the whole business.
 A turpentine-farm consists of from five to forty crops of ten thousand five hundred boxes each. The work is sometimes carried on by the owners of the pine forests themselves; again, the trees are leased out for certain num- Der of years, two or three being about the limit. Negro labor is principally employed in this section. The work commences in November, when the boxing of the trees begins. The boxes, which are cut sloping back into the trees about foot from the ground, measure three inches back at bottom, four deep, and about seventeen in length. In March they are cornered; that is, chip is taken off on both sides just above the ends of the boxes. Next the faces for dripping are cut V-shape between and above the places chipped. The number of faces on each tree depends upon it's size, varying from one to three. Besides the origin al cutting of the faces, the trees are hacked once week during the drip ping season with peculiarly shaped knife suited to the purpose. The hack ing increases the length of the faces, as one or two inches of bark are taken off above each time.
 The dipping of the crude into bar. rels begins about the middle of March, and the boxes are emptied seven or eight times during the season. They hold from one to two quarts each, and from 10000 boxes 210 barrels is con- sidered a fair, 250 fine, yield. The first years dripping is called virgin" the second '.yearling," and all after "old stuff" From eight barrels of crude they get two of spirits of turpen- tine, and five to five and half of resin. Of the latter there are several grades: W. w., ''water-white;" W. G., 'win- dow-glass;" M, next highest, and so on up the alphabet, but down in quali- ty, to A, the letter J being omitted. The first drippings, if not scorched in boiling, make beautifully white, trans parent resin; hence the name "water. white." The crude producing this can never be obtained from the trees after the first months running; that for w. G., "window-glass," possibly. into July or August.-L. " Roberts, iS Popular Science MosthyV.
